still a soldier

he's got a corner lot on dogwood drive

a year old truck and a nine to five

comes home at night to a pretty wife

with a baby due

he'll sleep in on saturday

cut the grass if it don't rain

after church he'll watch the game

'n' have a beer or two

he'll stand up

when he hears the anthem

and that won't ever change

he's still a soldier

he's blood runs red

white and blue

he put away his gun and boots

but he still believes

the american dream

'til his last breath he'll always be

a soldier

he's still a soldier

he's on his couch for the news at ten

he'll see those places that he's been

and when a brother falls there's a part of him that does too

and if they called and needed him back

aw

he'd be on that plane

he's still a soldier

he's blood runs red

white and blue

he put away his gun and boots

but he still believes

the american dream

'til his last breath he'll always be

a soldier

he don't wake up anymore

when he hears thunder

aw

but even if he lives

to be a hundred

he'll still be a soldier

he's still a soldier

he put away his gun and boots

but he still believes

the american dream

'til his last breath he'll always be

a soldier

he's still a soldier

he's still a soldier
